Eating whole pizza without cheese

Cheese equals protein, you just ate a bunch of carbs so basically the calories were doubled.
Actually, carbs and protein provide about the same number of calories. Cheese contains a lot of fat, though, and that DOES add more than double the calories (9 per gram vs 4 per gram in carbs/protein). Personally, I'd eat the pizza as it was made without picking stuff off and just eat fewer slices. If you want to decrease the calories so you can still eat more slices, see if you can order one with reduced fat cheese. It's still quite tasty and has significantly fewer calories.
EDIT: Also, the thing about dairy being bad for you after childhood hasn't been true since the genetic mutation showed up about 10000 years ago that allowed our bodies to continue producing lactase (lactose digesting enzyme) when we get older. The only people who should avoid dairy are the few who are lactose intolerant.0 -
The cheese is, for a large part, salt and fat....bad bad bad. While it is a great dairy item when you are growing as a child, it should be eaten in moderation. Up to you, of course, but I am a professed pizza connoisseur...and have worked at several of these establishments (I currently do, as a matter of fact). Look into just the ingredients of the pizza on MFP, not just a slice of that kind of pizza. I end up having to do that anyway. Pizza, in a nutshell, is not good for any diet.

This is pizza shaming, and it has no place in a civilized society.
None at all.0 -
How much money did you spend for that soggy, greasy piece of crust? You like pizza ... eat a slice or two, it's satisfying and you lose the urge to binge on crap.0

But..why? :sad:0

Pizza is good...you get carbs from the dough, micronutrients from the sauce, electrolytes from the sodium, fats from the cheese, and protein from the cheese and toppings. Its like a macronutrient powerhouse and should be the staple of every good diet plan.
Plus if you eat the whole thing you only have to have one meal a day! Unless you do those weight thingies in which case you might want to keep a spare in your gym bag.0 -

What do you mean you sprayed it off? Are you saying you just basically turned a good pizza into a soggy piece of bread? Why?
This is exactly what I was thinking - sprayed it off :huh: , I would rather just have cheese and topping and ditch the base.
Ooh you could use haloumi as a base then pile on the toppings and then more cheese . hmm cheeeeeeeeeese.0 -

PSA: If you ever have an urge to binge on crap, please contact a doctor immediately. A desire to eat crap is a clear sign of a serious mental issue and should not be taken lightly.

What you ate is called a Tomato Pie. You can probably find some entry in the database for that.
But... you're doing it wrong. Pizza is amazing. Taking the cheese off is just wrong. You're taking off what makes a pizza a pizza.0 -

I have no idea what's happening in here. Just eat food in a normal portion, don't strap on the feed bag.0

I can't seem to get a good protein to calorie ratio from pizza. Does not stop me though.0
